School Climate Index Adaptation to Turkish: Reliability and Validity Study
Öz
The school
climate is defined as the personality of a school, which is considered
important for effectiveness, efficiency and safety of a school. Studies on
school climate were usually conducted by referring to students' opinions, and
the perception of the the teachers on school climate was not studied as much.
Therefore, it seems important that the adaptation of a school climate scale to
Turkic to be used in studies aiming to determine the perceptions of teachers
who are working in very different types of high schools. The purpose of this
study is to adapt the School Climate Scale developed by Hoy, Smith, &
Sweetland (2002), which is widely accepted in the literature, to Turkish. The
research was conducted with the participation of 237 teachers working in 12
high schools in Niğde in the spring term of 2015. According to the confirmatory
factor analysis results, the Turkish form of scale consists of 27 items and
four sub-dimensions (colleague leadership, professional teacher behavior,
achievement pressure and institutional vulnerability). The scale had also evidence for its
convergent and discriminant validity. The internal consistency coefficients
obtained for all of the scale and its sub-dimensions are excellent. As a
result, it can be said that accordingly of the EFA and CFA, the scale is a
dependable and legitimate estimation apparatus.
